hahaha yeah, it actually did go up to $180 tho
my usual bill would be only $31.xx after taxes, cuz my bro called my cell so much from alberta
and i also used up so much daytime minutes with my gf
i shoulda asked for some long distance minutes as well lol xD~

i was already on a retention plan when i upgraded yesterday
i had 250 daytime, e/w @ 8pm, free call id for $20/month = $31.xx
so juz for thoz ppl who think they can't get a better plan cuz they're already on a retention plan, it IS possible

How long of a contract did you have to sign again?

But each time you get a new retention offer, you extend your contract longer and longer.

It is NOT cumulative, if that's what you mean.

Cauz my V3 is just dying on me these days Any suggestion on what to tell them in order to get a phone deal? thanx!

well, if u've had V3 for over 12months, ur eligeable for a free phone that doesn't exceed over $100 on 3yr contract
ex. K790a = $179.99 on 3yr contract, u juz have to pay $79.99

tell them ur V3 has stopped working, and doesn't even turn on anymore, since the 1yr warranty from rogers should be over already, rogers can't really do anything besides offer u a new phone

wow,it works that way? I have never heard of that!

I always thought that I could only get the phone for 179.99,no?

Do I have to call them only or I can go into a rogers store to do that? thanx!

that formula is not always the case, it really just depends on what kind of customer you have been with Rogers and the mood of the customer relations person you are talking to..lol

in any case, blackberry's (and all other ppc phones) work different, cause the BB 8800 is $399 based on 3 yr contract AND $75+ voice/data plan or $40 voice+$40 data plan.

whenever you do a hardware upgrade you are locking for at least 2 more years of contract from the date of the upgrade. This is not added onto your existing contract though.

In order to get the best pricing though, you usually need to lock in for 3 years unfortunately.
